Re: 2016 Duluth Regional Discussion
 

As someone living in Duluth, there's tons of snow right now. It's been snowing on and off all week but its supposed to be average (33F high) by March-In-Duluth standards.

It'll be my first regional as solely a volunteer, and I cannot wait.

Huh, I guess I forgot I'm 4 hours away... good to hear that there's snow!

4536 will be sending some people up too. I'm very curious to see how the game flows, especially in elims, after all this discussion about defense...

I laughed when I saw your video, 1816, because we named our robot Zenith last year.

Re: 2016 Duluth Regional Discussion
 

Does anyone know if there is early pit setup for the Lake Superior regional.

Re: 2016 Duluth Regional Discussion
 

Based on the responses by Jon in this thread I'd probably say no. I can't seem to find the post where the final decision was made, but I'm pretty sure it's a no.

Re: 2016 Duluth Regional Discussion
 

In the most recent email I have received from Mark Lawrence the schedule does not allow early setup. It says you can unload but setup isn't until 8:30am on Thursday. Bummer.

Re: 2016 Duluth Regional Discussion
 

There will not be early pit setup for any of the MN regionals (Duluth or Minneapolis). For the Duluth regionals, teams may load-in from either 7-9 pm Wed or 7:45-8:30 am Thursday. Pit setup isn't allowed until pits open at 8:30 am Thurs.

You can find links to the schedule and load-in directions here. Note that a driver will be required to stay with the vehicle while unloading and promptly move it to a designated parking area to ease congestion at load-in.

You guys looked really polished week 0, that auto looks really nice, but I wouldn't expect anything different from 2052.

Re: 2016 Duluth Regional Discussion
 

Team 2499 is really excited to be attending Lake Superior! Good luck to everyone attending! :)

Re: 2016 Duluth Regional Discussion
 

Thanks to all for the info about pit setup.

Re: 2016 Duluth Regional Discussion
 

Speaking as someone that spends the entire load-in period in the pits... You don't want to be setting up Wednesday night. It's just too cold in there!

Re: 2016 Duluth Regional Discussion
 

Very true! I helped with load-in without a jacket last year... big mistake. I'm lucky I left with all my fingers!

Re: 2016 Duluth Regional Discussion
 

It was 40 degrees yesterday so we feel pretty confident we're ready for the 33 degree weather of Duluth. :rolleyes:

Re: 2016 Duluth Regional Discussion
 

70-80 degrees here in Hawaii.
But we will be ready for the cold.

Wont be at load-in since we cant setup pit anyway.
Taking the kids snowboarding at Spirit Mountain instead til 8pm.:D
